Research specialisations and groups
Analytical and environmental chemistry - Ian Potter
Our research in analytical and environmental chemistry is associated with the development of sensors to target Endocrine Disruptor Chemicals (EDCs).
Biophysical chemistry and nanochemistry - Adam Mechler
I study the formation and physicochemical properties of phospholipid bilayers of various composition, with microscopic and microspectroscopic methods.
Computational chemistry - David Wilson
We are involved in a Nobel Prize winning field of research – computational chemistry.
Computational materials chemistry - Michelle Spencer
Our research uses a computational chemistry approach to investigate the structure, properties and dynamical processes of materials and nanostructures.
Electrochemistry, photochemistry and sensors - Conor Hogan
Research in our group is focused on expanding the bounds of analytical chemistry.
Medicinal chemistry - Belinda Abbott
Medicinal chemistry involves the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel molecules which are needed to understand, prevent and treat disease.
Modelling molecular interactions - Brian Smith
Our molecular modelling research involves collaborations with The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Optical spectroscopy of atmospheric and biological molecules - Evan Robertson
We use the power of optical spectroscopy to explore the properties of molecules relevant to pharmaceutics, the atmosphere and even interstellar chemistry.
Organic and inorganic synthetic chemistry - Peter Barnard
We are interested in the synthesis and development of sensors and molecular imaging agents.
Synthetic main group chemistry - Jason Dutton
The Dutton group has a number of current research projects running falling within the theme of synthetic chemistry.
Synthetic organometallic and inorganic chemistry - Anne Richards
My research expertise includes inorganic and orgamometallic synthesis, crystal engineering, and X-ray crystallography.
